how do I put 2 pics side by side?

1. If you have MS Word or Apple Pages, open one of them.

2. Set your page to LANDSCAPE.

3. (Optional) Choose a coloured background.

4. Drag photos from the file manager onto the WORD page or PAGES page.

5. Using only a single corner of each photo resize each to fit an appropriate height and width. (Trying to get them all the same height is usually best.)

6. Add any appropriate text.

7. Save your document.

8. (Optionally) take a screen shot of it.

9. Upload to Bariatric Pal.

HERE'S THE ONE I MADE ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO BEFORE SURGERY.

Yes.....I was trying to create one a few weeks ago, but never did it..

Surgery Was on 10/03, down 25.6 lbs. Weight loss slowed this week, but I am losing inches. I feel great. Red meat doesn't sit well with me nor does cheating by trying to sample bad choices, so yep...I stopped that nonsense. I finally got a small hunger feeling this week, but no cravings. I didn't see a difference, but others notice. So, I took a photo today and put it side by side with a before VSG pic and it is insane to see the face behind the extra lbs. How are you all doing? #wecandoit

Wow, those are amazing results for such a short period of time. You look amazing! You were beautiful before, but the weight-loss agrees with you. You look even better.

Surgery was 10/16, down 16 lbs from surgery date. Feeling great! First day back at work, and found out that my slacks I wore pre-surgery are not possible to fit in now. Have to go shopping tonight for a few pair to hold me over for a few weeks. It's good to be able to see and feel the difference, even in a short time. Almost 70lbs down from my highest weight.

You look terrific! Congratulations! I hope to have similar results. I have a wardrobe of sizes, but I am going to buy some new things each time I go down anyway.

Enjoy your successes as they come!

Mine was today at that same time as well! I was first on the docket at my hospital! Can’t believe after months of waiting and anticipating; it’s over now!

Good luck! [emoji56]

So to start a FB group, even a Secret group, you need to be FB friends with the person starting the group. If anyone wants to , please message me and I will get one started.

You can then adjust your settings if you do not want your sleever FB friends to see all your FB stuff.

Hi everyone. I was sleeved on 10/10. I had a follow up appointment yesterday and I'm down 37 pounds from surgery date. I feel amazing. I'm can't drink my Protein Shakes because they are all so sweet. But I'm drinking high Protein milk and eating fat free refried Beans along with lots of fat free cottage cheese. This has been the best decision of my life. I hope all you October Sleevers are seeing some positive change!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
